I'm sorry about the mess on the table I'm sure it was an accident My hands are made of nitroglycerin That explains the incident Fortune built my homes in daydreams Pages I'd never seen I'm sorry you were so disappointed The contract states quite fundamentally The undersigned is you Lay your life on the line Chorus No questions (Life on the line) That's fine (Life) Just sign on the dotted line The nib hesitates at the inkwell A sample of the poet's blood Guitars pluck a tune in the ozone But me, I'm just stuck in the mud Fortune left my hopes in daydreams Pages I'd never seen I'm sorry you were so disappointed The contract states quite fundamentally The undersigned is you Lay your life on the line Chorus Fortune built my hopes in daydreams Pages I'd never seen I'm sorry you were so disappointed The contract states quite fundamentally The undersigned is you Lay your life on the line
